Hi Chris,
I know from the title that this is a working track (1st Mood) and so I know it is neither finished or mixed and mastered yet.
My comments:
I'd like to hear a few extra kik drum beats, perhaps at the end of every 8 bars.
I don't like the chord that comes in at 0:09 - too deep and muddy and out of context with the rest of the track.
Everything else seems great. The phasey string pad is really crisp although a few more chord variations would help.
Yes, it needs a solo. I think that something with a hint of portamento, starting low in the mix and between C2-C3 and then growing in volume, dynamics and intensity and extending its range perhaps up to C5. This could fade away but have a recurring riff at other times, laid back in the mix.
I also feel there needs some room for the track to breathe - similar to 5:15 but perhaps a couple of minutes sooner.
(I prefer Day 83 but this has great potential).
You seem to be uploading more tracks than Maket at the moment
Nice 1st mood
